The stirring frequency exponent of -1/2 in the theoretical Levich expression appears to apply to PAMPA and Caco-2 assays, where efficient individual-well magnetic stirring ( > 20 RPM) is used. If a single molecule is used as a stirring calibrant, then scaling suggested by Eq. (5) with microtitre plate data may be used. The error in calculating hABL based on unscaled hABLref can be as high as 30%. This is of practical importance in PAMPA, and perhaps cellular assays as well.
